Am Ne HE HERST ws VOLUME XXIII, .NUMBER 38 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1941 SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD AAA Farmers To Vote On Sept. 24 Lorain county farmers will vote next Wednesday, Sept. 24th, to select three township AAA members and two alternates. AH farmers who have participated in any phase of the AAA program, or will receive payment for compliance with the program, is eli gible to vote at the election. Voting places have been established in all townships. Amherst and Black River farmers will vote in the Amherst town hall, Brownhelm farmers in the Brown- helm town hall, and Henrietta farmers in the Henrietta school house. The voting booths will open at 8:00 p. m. and remain open as long as necessary. The three county members and two alternates will be picked at a meeting the following day, Sept. 25th, in the county AAA office in Elyria. "No chain is stronger than its weakest link," warned Elmer F. Kruse, chairman of the Ohio AAA committee. "American and the nations across the sea resisting the aggressor nations, are dependent on the American farmer for certain types of food. If the Agricultural Adjustment Administration is to be successful in its efforts toward increased production of needed foods, then the farmers who administer the AAA program must be of the highest caliber. All farmers in the county who are eligible to vote on Sept ember 24th should report to the polls as a patriotic duty," heurged. IT'S KICKOFF TIME FOR AMHERST GRIDDERS New Traffic Laws Now Effective With Ohio's newly enacted uniform traffic law in effect, motorists will . have to vatch their speedometers closely, to see that the 50-mile limit is not exceeded. Heretofore, drivers restricted to 45 miles an hour, could speed up in the country, but now any speed over 50 miles per hour is illegal and will bring arrest. Other regulations provide slow ing to 20 miles an hour when passing school houses when chil dren are outside the building; 25 miles an hour in all municipali ties excepting state routes and through highways outside busi ness districts, and 35 miles and hour on state route and business districts. If a driver goes so slow as to impede traffic moving, he is also liable to arrest. Bicycles are affected in that no one shall ride on handle or cross bars, nor on any other part of the machine, unless regular seats are provided. No more can hitchhikers stand in the street "thumbing" for rides they must stand back on the curb. It is also unlawful for automobiles to follow fire-engines closer than 600 feet nor may they enter into a block where fire apparatus is working local motorists should also bear in mind that on the approach of fire apparatus, police cars or ambulances sounding a siren, they must pull to the right and stop. FhV engine "chasers" will be a thing of the past. No more ear-splitting cutouts wide open will be allowed, nor whistles or sirens on bicycles, and at night cyclists must haye lights on both front and rear of their vehicles. Farm implements traversing roads at night .must have proper lights, too, or the drivers may be subject to arrest. Cutting across the yellow stripe whin it is on your side of the line is illegal and highway patrolmen will be watching for violations of any of the dozens of provisions under the new laws. fwww mir rrTMnm immv mmn . r tir rmm I I i Hflim in umim w w whmi wwynms whwhwiwiii mn' IWP'JI"" !W l' "I" 1 " -,nir hum im , imwiiiiij "',,"' ' . - , " , , : ' ( - ' '", ' , ' v' . .'-' ' ; ! ....... ....

A Personal Su rvey By Mrs. F. R. Powers September is the month for vacationsno doubt about it. But not for school teachers' families. They must do their frolicking between May's last bell and September's first or else. And it so happens that It was "or eWe" this summer for the school teacher's family I know best. Much as we all like to visit far away places, there's a certain satisfaction in not gathering the best of the summer's resources for one big vacation spurt. Knowing that we'll spend the warm days pretty close to the home paddock with a minimum of straining toward distant horizons and the lump sum needed to take us there, we'll begin to look about us, and the thought uppermost in our minds will be to make the most of what we see. The purse strings can be loosened too, and like as not the ending of summer will find in our homes a coveted luxury or a piece of shiny, new household equipment we've long wanted. September days and nights are beautiful and September skies especially when the moon Is fulL On one of these nights of exquisite beauty I cot to think' ing how lovely the same old moon must appear in California. A few days later a letter came from Los Angeles telling of a Labor Day jaunt to Mt. Wilson, and as I recall it, a holiday spent on Mt. Olympus couldn't be more desirable. "There was a thin mist over the whole valley which was turned into a veil of blue chiffon by the light of a perfect moon." When you know that the lights of L. A. and the adjacent cities as viewed from Mt. Wilson at eventide look like nothing so much as a carpet of sparkling Jewels flung at your feet, you'll have some Idea of thebreath-taking glory of the scene as presented with the added magic of moonlight.I visited Mt. Wilson but once, and it was while coasting silently into the valley, with the exhilarating mountain air fanned into keen breezes by the force of the car speeding thru it, that I had the queer sensation of riding in the wake of Dracula, thru his native Transylvanlan Mountains. Mountain air does strange things to people. ' I didn't get to attend any auction sales this summer, tho there seemed to be a goodly number held around the countryside. (Continued on page four) , Notes of Local Interest From 0SU One South Amherst boy, Elmer Gainok, Elm-st, who is entering Ohio State University this fall has been selected because of his outstanding high school records to attend the tenth annual Ohio State University freshman camp to be held September 21-23 at Camp Alfred Willson,Bellefon-taine. The camp sponsored by the University YMCA, is for the pur pose of acquainting Incoming freshman students with each other and with university officials prior to the opening of Freshman Week. About 160 freshmen will attend and will hear such prominent university officials as President Howard L. Bevis, Vice-President J. Lewis Morrill, and football coach Paul Brown speak on college life. Names of students in the Col- ege of Agriculture at Ohio State University who made an average of "B" or better during the spring quarter are being announced by Dean John F. Cunningham of that College. The list includes the following from Amherst Walter Angersbach, Donald Bech-tel. Melvin Kolbe, and June Thompson. Freshman Week office at Ohio State University is now open, preparing schedules of activities for the 3000 new students who will arrive on the campus September 24. Recent admissions to the new freshman class wil include William Brill, agriculture; Helen Hasenpflug, agriculture; Russell Portman, agriculture; all ofAmherst. defense and pretty well smoothed out, so that when the league schedule starts surprises are apt to be in store for any and all opponents.

Fire Destroyed Barn And Contents Tuesday A barn, seven loads of soy beans just harvested, some hay - and farm tools were completely destroyed Tuesday night when fire of unknown origin broke out on the farm of Joe Gillis, Dewey-rd, North. A granary and straw stack close to the barn were also destroyed. Gillis discovered the fire, at the time confined in only one part of the barn. He quickly ran across the street to summon his family, but the fire seemed to instantly spread to the entire barn. The flames quickly ate through the roof, shooting high into the sky, and the red glow could be seen for many miles around. Since no telephone was handy someone was dispatched to Amherst to summon the fire department. On arrival the depart ment confined its efforts to pro tecting surrounding buildings. The fire attracted hundreds of motorists who swarmed over the road, parking on both sides and completey blocking traffic. The barn fire was the second the local department answered Tuesday. Shortly before 6 o'clock they extinguished a grass fire in Woodhlll-dr, that for a time threatened a garage and house. Miss Shirley Sweet left Sunday for Bowling Green where she will enter Bowling Green College. WERE VISITORS HERE Prof, and Mrs. Howard L. Hall, of Madison, Wis. were Amherst visitors this week.

Fire Destroyed Barn And Contents Tuesday A barn, seven loads of soy beans just harvested, some hay - and farm tools were completely destroyed Tuesday night when fire of unknown origin broke out on the farm of Joe Gillis, Dewey-rd, North. A granary and straw stack close to the barn were also destroyed. Gillis discovered the fire, at the time confined in only one part of the barn. He quickly ran across the street to summon his family, but the fire seemed to instantly spread to the entire barn. The flames quickly ate through the roof, shooting high into the sky, and the red glow could be seen for many miles around. Since no telephone was handy someone was dispatched to Amherst to summon the fire department. On arrival the depart ment confined its efforts to pro tecting surrounding buildings. The fire attracted hundreds of motorists who swarmed over the road, parking on both sides and completey blocking traffic. The barn fire was the second the local department answered Tuesday. Shortly before 6 o'clock they extinguished a grass fire in Woodhlll-dr, that for a time threatened a garage and house.
